Updated with quotes for January 2022:

Classic:
I would renounce, therefore, the attempt to create heaven on earth, and focus instead on reducing the hell.
— A. Alan Borovoy, 1988.

Direct:
Mobbings multiply and life is grim in organizations run by true believers in human perfectibility, as compared to those run by admitted sinners accepting of human frailty and politics.
— The Envy of Excellence, 2003, p. 180.

Garden moment for January 2022:

In northern Florida, on account of December's warmer-than-usual temperatures, camellias are coming into bloom a little bit early this year. This one is in Washington Oaks State Park.
